    That's a solid amplifier.

    Another selling feature about that amp is that it runs very cool so it doesn't need a bunch of space. That part sealed the deal for me as height in my rack was limited back then.

    I second the comment on being a good amp. Was my first 2 -channle seperaates along with the RC-1070 pre - great combo.

    I'm guessing it doesn't take too well to 4-ohm loads?

    It's bridgeable, and in bridged mode it will see any 8 ohm speaker as a 4 ohm load, so it is designed to be quite stable at 4 ohms. I wouldn't use it bridged with a 4 ohm speaker, but I wouldn't do that with any amp.

    These do 4ohms very well. I ran my original series SDA2's off of it without issue. A wonderful amp.

    I also ran a 4 ohm Dynaudio 52SE on this amp - no problem.

    What do you think the RMS wpc goes up to at 4Ω?

    I would expect around 200-220 wpc at 4 ohms, there are no statistics for it though that I could find. Plenty of power for most speakers

    Thanks for letting me know, not sure why they disabled. In-between the fins seems to be dust or a reflection, will clean out but there isn't a flaw there.

    Nice amp!

    I have it's bigger 200 wpc brother the 1080 for about a year now and really like it.

    I listened to it critically (also with some friends whose ears I trust) against my Adcom GFA555 and Carver TFM-35 for a long time before I sold those amps and kept the Rotel.

    I used an Adcom amp a while ago before going to Rotel and Parasound and preferred the latter two by far, not that Adcom's aren't an alright value, but the Rotel is a fantastic value. Hopefully it is at this price too! But the few interested parties have not committed so :) still available
